    Downsizing Newb

    Nice machine, looks well taken care of. Those little BX really punch above their weight class. I'm in the opposite position as you, need to sell mine as I bought something a touch bigger for my 25 acres.. I used the BX for 3 years on that property and it did very well. I will miss the backhoe!!

    Decision Overload

    Unpopular opinion - You have just a couple of acres - you don't need anything very large. From your list the B would be more than enough and you could probably make do with a BX. You could easily find one of those with a BH for the price you are looking for and have money left over . BX really...

    New or Used?

    I've done used on both the tractors I've bought. Saved quite a bit, but I'm also very mechanically inclined to fix little issues. If you buy used you'll have to get used to the idea of fixing the odd thing to bring it up to standard. My first tractor had 600hrs on it, was always stored inside...

    Greasing your machine....The hate/hate relationship.

    I just bought a tractor that was a mess that I had to clean up. If you looked at the thing you got grease all over you. On my old tractor I just used a paper towel, on the new(er) one I've found the brake cleaner does a great job cleaning it off. Is it true that brake cleaner is hard on paint...

    Cylinder pin and bushing spec/tolerance LA534 (B2650 tractor)

    So I removed the other side (driver side) last night, and found it to be 25.4mm (1"). I cleaned up the first one and found it to be well worn, out of round in places. I think the other guy only used grease on the outside of his joints lol I'll replace the part and go from there. And I cleaned...

    Cylinder pin and bushing spec/tolerance LA534 (B2650 tractor)

    The grease is from the original owner. The other side is not nearly as bad. He was very sloppy. Maybe i'll pull the other pin though and measure it. If it's bigger, then I'll just go get another pin from the dealer.

    Cylinder pin and bushing spec/tolerance LA534 (B2650 tractor)

    Do you think the amount of play is an issue that needs to be repaired? I just bought the tractor used and am going through it with a fine toothed comb. I'm not sure what to expect with regard to this level of play.

    Cylinder pin and bushing spec/tolerance LA534 (B2650 tractor)

    That was my thoughts also. I have over 700hr in my BX without play like this. I wonder if the previous owner hit something, as the SSQA plates are also misaligned by about an inch. Video link below - I suspect I"ll have to replace the weld on bushings. Does anyone have a part number for those...

    Cylinder pin and bushing spec/tolerance LA534 (B2650 tractor)

    Good afternoon, I have a fair bit of slop one of the pins in the loader (LA534) on my tractor (B2650). The is the upper cylinder pin in the below screenshot. I have what seems to me an unusual amount of slop in the joint (tractor has 250 hrs, was not well taken care of before I got it...
